San Francisco Bay Area thrashers TESTAMENT have shared an official mini-documentary on the first show of the U.S.
leg of their “Thrash Of The Titans” world tour, which kicked off on March 14 in Portland, Oregon and wrapped on April 10 in Berkeley, California.
The trek united the band with fellow thrash legends OVERKILL and DESTRUCTION for one of the fiercest tours of the new year.
TESTAMENT's latest album, “Para Bellum,” came out in October 2025 via Nuclear Blast.
The LP was recorded with Juan Urteaga and mixed for the first time by Jens Bogren.
The cover art was once again painted by Eliran Kantor.
When “Para Bellum” was first announced in August 2025, it was accompanied by the official music video for the LP's first single, “Infanticide A.I.,” directed by Joey Durango.
A major evolution on “Para Bellum” was the addition of powerhouse drummer Chris Dovas, whose precision, speed, and instinctive dynamics infuse the album with fresh energy.
Working closely with Peterson throughout the writing process, Dovas helped shape song structures, accelerated the workflow, and injected a level of versatility that amplifies the album's modern edge without straying from the TESTAMENT sound.
Dovas officially joined TESTAMENT in 2023 as the replacement for Dave Lombardo (ex-SLAYER).
Prior to joining TESTAMENT as a full-time member, Dovas previously filled in for Lombardo on the first six dates of TESTAMENT's summer/fall 2022 leg of “The Bay Strikes Back Tour.” Lombardo was unable to make those gigs due to a scheduling conflict with the MISFITS.
The remastered reissue of TESTAMENT's coveted 1989 album “PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH” is due on May 8 via Nuclear Blast Records.
The “PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH (2026 Remaster)” reissue was remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound.
It will be available digitally and 180-gram vinyl on yellow and orange swirl with black splatter (limited to 1250 worldwide) and is packaged with brand new artwork from Bill Benson (who also designed the original cover art), a 20-page booklet showcasing old photos and documents provided by TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy and guitarist Eric Peterson and newly provided liner notes.
